The nurse who never had German Measles.
The nurse who never had mumps.
The nurse who never had roseola.

Herpes zoster (shingles) is caused by a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. the causative virus for chicken pox. Individuals who have not been exposed to the varicella-zoster virus or who did not receive the varicella-zoster vaccine are susceptible to chickenpox. Health workers who are unsure of their immune status should have varicella titers done before exposure to a person with herpes zoster.
